Which risk increases when a hydraulic actuator stalls mid-stroke due to excessive load?

A)Reduced system bulk modulus
B)Hydraulic fluid overheating
C)Increased actuator rod buckling
D)Decreased valve hysteresis

💡 Explanation

When a hydraulic actuator stalls, the pressure relief valve cycles rapidly because the pump continues to deliver flow against a blocked cylinder, leading to energy dissipating as heat in the hydraulic fluid. Therefore overheating results, rather than modulus reduction, buckling or hysteresis changes each requiring different conditions.
